Fragrance Favs
Gourmand girly? GUILTY. Here’s all of my favorite scents. From drug store to designer and everything in between.
Very grown scent. I am a vanilla girly DOWN and this one is so good especially after it macerates.
KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum
It smells like a warm boozy vanilla and I always get compliments when I wear it!
Bath & Body Works Cozy Vanilla Bourbon Fragrance
Got this for my boyfriend and we both LOVE it. It’s a warm cozy scent, which I love; I think the patchouli musk gives it that grown, sexy mannish vibe.
Vanilla Noir Cologne
This was one of my first “grown” perfumes and I love it. It kinda smells like when you just get out of the shower.
Perfume Light Blue Eau De Toilette | Dolce&Gabbana® US
Hair Care Essentials
Loc’d Since April 2021
Loc-friendly products and hair essentials that help me keep my thick hair moisturized, manageable, and together.
These hair ties are truly a Godsend. I have thick locs, and these actually hold all of my hair without constantly snapping or stretching out.
Goody Hair Ties in Hair Accessories(291)
A must have in my home! This helps keep my locs super hydrated and combat breakage
Rice Water Strengthening Spray for Curls & Coils
Must have, hands down. For my loc girlies specifically, a bonnet will protect your hair from lint, breakage and help retain moisture!
Hair Bonnet
Makeup Must Haves
The makeup products I reach for most, with honest thoughts, shade details, and favorites that actually perform.
I wear shade 370 (375 in the summer) and this foundation is light weight and the perfect coverage for what I need!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
This setting spray is THAT GIRL. Definitely a part of my holy grail.
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
I use this in the shade “Kiss Up” and I’m in love!
I’ve always been hesitant to use blush as a dark skinned black girl but LA Girl did not disappoint. A little goes a long way and it makes a great lip pigment.
Soft Matte Cream Blush
Another essential! This setting must does a great job and is only $11. I pair it with the Morphe setting mist to lock in all my looks
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Skin+Body Care
I honestly didn’t know if I should include this in skincare or fragrance! This lotion is SO good and smells amazing. I always get compliments when I wear it
Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion ...
DIY Diva
Usually, I’m a strip lash girly but these are great! I love the option to customize my lash look and it was much easier than I expected.
LAUBESS Eyelash Clusters Individual Lashes
Goes hand in hand with the lash clusters! I stumbled across this bond and seal and haven’t gone back! She works well and doesn’t break the bank
GAQQI Lash Bond & Seal Waterproof 10ML Glue
